I am one of those who thinks first before opening my mouth. I've learned to do this because I'm not one to cloak what I want to say in pretty words, I don't have that ability, hence I can offend at times.

However, there is a downside to this think-before-you-talk approach. A lot of times I'm not able to say what I intend to in the very first place. When I have thought it over, I'd just tell myself it's not important, let it go, but deep inside me I wish I had. I guess I just have to find the proper timing.
